In Zambia, the mining industry - and in particular the copper sector - has been hit hard by falling commodity prices. President Edgar Lungu, re-elected in July, faces the difficult task of diversifying the country's economy. During the election campaign, the government promised to hand out arable land to the miners who have lost their jobs, hoping to turn them into farmers. Thousands of former miners are now hoping the government will keep its promises. Our correspondents report.
A programme prepared by Patrick Lovett and Elom Marcel Toble.

Four villages in Zambia are taking a mining giant to court over claims it is responsible for leaking toxic waste into their water sources. The villagers are locked in a legal battle with UK-based Vedanta and could have their case heard in a British court. Clementine Logan traveled to Zambia's Copperbelt province to find out more.
NB: Please note the law firm representing the villagers is UK-based Leigh Day.

Zambia, Africa's second biggest copper producer, is bearing the brunt of falling global demand for the industrial metal. As Farai Mwakutuya reports, the downturn is having a detrimental effect on local mining communities.

The Zambian government has rebuffed calls for the relaxing of rules in its gemstone mining and auction sector . Its says current controls were important to retain more of the value from the minerals locally. The government which has released a policy paper on the sector says it aims to increase the participation of Zambians in the mining sector. Its added that local medium and small scale miners, will now be able to benefit from mining in the world's third largest copper producer.

Canada’s First Quantum Minerals on Wednesday was hopeful of resolving a dispute with Zambia over a whopping 76.5 billion Zambian kwacha ($8.07 billion) bill for unpaid duties on imported mining equipment.
Zambia has reduced “significant” tax assessments against it in the past, Chief Executive Philip Pascall said on a conference call with analysts. He declined to speculate on the possible outcome of Zambia’s review of the latest claim, which involves more than 23,000 documents and could take up …

The national government hopes to set up industrial plants in small and medium scale mines with view to boosting the country's mining sector.
The Principal Secretary of Mining John Omenge says the plants will provide value addition to products made by those working in the mines.
The PS spoke at Tabaka Soapstone quarry sites in South Mugirango in Kisii County where he met quarry owners.

For many, a mine opening in your province means a boost in employment and local businesses. For Tina Ndunguyonga, it meant an opportunity to follow her dreams and give her and her family a better future.
Ms Ndunguyonga is a third-year geology student at the University of Zambia (UNZA) but five years ago, the thought of going to the University of Zambia or any other institution of higher learning was a far-fetched dream for her; this is her journey to attaining that dream.

Metorex Chibuluma mine, in the heart of Zambia's historic Copperbelt Province, has persevered through nearly 60 years, and exploration efforts continue to extend the mine's life. Chibuluma's modern fleet of Sandvik underground trucks, loaders and drills has helped the mine steadily increase production to more than 48,000 monthly tonnes of copper ore.

Aaron Nyangu is one of Kagem’s skilled staff, working to optimise production at the mine, combining the latest cutting-edge mining technology and investment from parent company Gemfields in order to unlock Zambia’s natural resource of responsibly sourced gemstones.
‘Attention to detail’ is the secret of success according to Mr Nyangu, who is responsible for gathering and analysing the survey data that will inform planning decisions on how best to execute mine operations.

The Kalahari manganese fields, among one of the world's biggest and richest, has a relative newcomer; the new Tshipi Borwa mine owned by Tshipi Manganese Mining. With a 60-year mine life, and a 2.4 million tonne per annum capacity, Tshipi will be among the four largest South African sources of manganese, an irreplaceable ingredient in the manufacture of steel.

Following the Zambian government decision to replace the VAT with Sales Tax, mining companies threatened to cut jobs. State House spokesperson, AMOS CHANDA responds to this threat by calling mining companies as hypocrites because they pay sales tax in other countries such as Canada.

Global commodity prices have fallen over the past few months.
The price of copper has taken a hit because of a slump in demand from China. China consumes 50% of the world's supply of the metal, and that has had a ripple effect in countries like Zambia, which is Africa's second biggest producer.
Al Jazeera's Fahmida Miller explains.

English/Nat
International gold sales recently plunged the price of the precious metal to a 22-year low.
Despite protests from all quarters the sales are set to continue leaving the future of tens of thousands of South African miners hanging in the balance.
This week South Africa's second largest gold miner, Gold Fields Ltd, announced that a strike against retrenchments at one of its mines may spread to other sites.
When Britain sold 25 tons of gold recently, it set the price plummeting and some of South Africa's less profitable mines were forced to give notice of lay offs.
Britain is scheduled to sell another 100 tons of gold by the end of this year.
Recent protests by both South African mine companies and mineworkers unions appear to have fallen on deaf ears.
The South African National Union of Mineworkers warned that if the gold price remains below 260 dollars an ounce, it would mean that 80-thousand gold miners would lose their jobs..
It's estimated that each miner supports another 10 people, so this loss could affect around 800-thousand South Africans livelihoods.
Joe Funga has worked at the West Driefontein Mine for 17 years.
A member of the mainly white Mineworkers Union, he has already made enquiries about his union's programme for laid off miners.
Like other miners who live in company houses, Funga only pays 1.70 dollars a month to live in his house with his wife and two children.
And if his job goes, so does his home.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I'm not feeling very happy about it because the whole issue is, what do you call it, got an effect on our families and got an effect on the people in the shafts, from a miner to an omsetter (fitter and turner) and the artisans as well."
SUPER CAPTION: Joe Funga, Gold Miner
Funga starts work at 4a-m where he is in charge of three gangs of about 10 miners each.
For them the mine's tunnels are their world and they've long accepted the inhospitable conditions.
It also provides them with a livelihood in a country wracked by unemployment.
For at least eight hours a day Funga joins his colleagues and descends 800 metres under the earth where they retrieve the rock that produces gold.
Since July 15th workers at another mine in the Free State province workers have downed tools and brought production to a complete halt.
They are protesting the imminent laying off of 600 workers.
Next week a neighbouring mine, Beatrix may also join the strike in support of its colleagues.
For another Gold Mine it seems that it's already too late.
E-R-P-M east of Johannesburg, is set to close and 5-thousand workers will lose their jobs.
Back at Crown Mine one of Funga's workmates, Sabata Moeane is a member of the mainly black National Union of Mineworkers.
Recently he's also been investigating alternative employment possibilities should he be laid off.
The National Union of Mineworkers is suggesting ways of laid-off miners becoming self-employed should they lose their jobs.
With South Africa's high rate of unemployment, it may be the only solution for people like Moeane and Funga.
Moeane has been working on the mine for ten years and lives near the mine site with his wife and four children, also in a company house.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I think at this point in time we are really in a catastrophic position because the gold price has declined tremendously and that can cost our jobs."
SUPER CAPTION: Sabata Moeane, Gold Miner
Miners such as Joe Funga and Sabata Moeane can only hope that their jobs will survive the the current Gold crisis.

For more than 60 years the mining town of Blyvooruitzicht sat on one of South Africa's richest gold deposits. But a diminishing return on investment prompted the owner to shut the mine, throwing all 1,700 workers out of a job.

The Rodruin project was discovered in December 2017 and is also known as the “Legendary Lost Mountain of Gold”. Aton was aware that there was a legend of mountain of gold that used to be mined many millennia ago somewhere on their massive 738 square kilometer, 100% owned Abu Marawat Concession located in Egypt’s Arabian-Nubian Shield. While studying the aerial imagery of their concession, Aton’s team of explorers noticed some ancient trails leading up to a mountain. When they hiked up the mountain for the first time, they discovered the extensive remains of ancient mine workings. The story is like something out of an Indiana Jones movie. Aton’s initial reverse circulation drill results have already revealed an impressive intersection of 36M of 12.47 g/t. This is a project to keep your eye on.
Javier has 20+ years of experience primarily as an exploration geologist, and has worked in Australia, Central Asia, west and north-east Africa, Europe, Cuba, and the Middle East. He has worked in regional greenfield exploration, through to brownfield mine-based exploration, and also spent time as an underground mine geologist at St Ives in Western Australia. He has also worked on several feasibility studies and mine development projects, and has been involved in successfully bringing several major projects through to production in Kazakhstan. He has experience in a wide variety of geological settings, and mineral types and has been involved in gold, copper, chromite, nickel, bauxite, iron ore, and mineral sands exploration and development projects and has extensive experience in VMS deposits.
Javier has a BSc in Geology from Southampton University, and also has master’s degrees from the Camborne School of Mines and Imperial College in the UK.

Glencore’s Katanga Mine is one of the group’s copper mines in Africa; it’s a major mining operator in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It operates through two companies, both joint ventures: Kamoto Copper Company (KCC) and DRC Copper and Cobalt Project (DCP).
KCC runs the Kamoto project, which includes exploration and mining properties, the Kamoto concentrator, the Luilu metallurgical plant, the Kamoto underground mine and two oxide open pit mines in the Kolwezi district of the DRC. It has capacity to produce 300,000 tonnes of first-class copper cathode each year.
The mine in Kolwezi is a high grade copper-cobalt asset that employs over 17,000 people. The area where it’s located is part of the African Copperbelt, one of the world’s most important copper producing regions. Glencore’s investments into mining in this region since 2009, via KCC Kolwezi, are helping to expand copper mining in Congo.
This video gives an overview of operations at KCC Mining DRC, including brief interviews with Gustave Nzeng, KCC Chairman; Dodo Nduw, Operations Manager; and Dede Madika, Copper Electrolysis Plant.

Cheapest African Countries to Live or Retire
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Subscribe to our YouTube channel : https://goo.gl/oHL7nB
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
1. South Africa
South Africa still remains the cheapest country to live in Africa as well as in the world. Being the world’s largest producer of gold, platinum, and chromium, the country has a rich economy. This results in a high local purchasing power compared to New York’s, thus placing the country at No.1.
Additionally, South Africa offers lower prices on consumer goods and groceries, as well as rent. With one-bedroom in Durban going for around $280 a month and monthly expenses of just under $400, this is an ideal country to spend time with minimal cost implications on your budget.
2. Zambia
For the past ten years, Zambia economy has been growing fast with real GDP growth averaging roughly 6.7 percent per annum.
3. Algeria
Algeria has a number of natural resources; the country is ranked 10th in the world in terms of natural gas reserves, and sixth- largest gas exporter. It ranks 16th in oil reserves.
The major contributor of foreign earnings is Hydrocarbons which accounts for about 60 percent of budget revenues, 30% of GDP, and over 95% of export earnings.
4. Tunisia
80 percent of the country’s exports are bound for Tunisia's main economic partner, the EU.
Tunisia's liberal strategy, coupled with investments in education and infrastructure, fueled decades of 4-5% annual GDP growth and improving living standards.
The country offers low cost of living, cheaper rent and consumer goods making it a relatively cheaper country to live.
5. Egypt
Last year, higher levels of foreign investment contributed to a slight rebound in GDP growth after a particularly depressed post-revolution period.
With its historic sceneries, Egypt has been able to sustain its large population of 88.5 million through tourism which is the biggest industry in the country. Egypt is also known for textiles and food processing industries.
Consumer goods and rent are cheaper in Egypt; a one-bedroom in Cairo costs just $350 a month.
6. Morocco
One thing that Morocco does very well, is capitalizing on its proximity to Europe. Its economy is also driven by agriculture, tourism, textiles, apparel, and subcomponents.
7. Namibia
Namibia is highly dependent on the extraction and processing of minerals for export. Mining accounts for 11.5 percent of GDP, providing more than 50 percent of foreign exchange earnings. With its rich diamond deposits, Namibia produces gem-quality diamonds which contributes to the country’s foreign exchange.
Apart from that, Namibia is the world's fifth-largest producer of uranium, it also produces large quantities of zinc and is a smaller producer of gold and copper.
8. Kenya
With the growing economy, Kenya’s Nairobi is becoming a city for multinational companies seeking a foothold for their African operations. Almost as sophisticated as the South African cities, Nairobi offers its visitors a “kinder and gentler” atmosphere.
For the last seven years, Kenya’s real GDP growth has averaged over 5 percent. Since 2014 Kenya has been ranked as a lower-middle-income country because its per capita GDP crossed a World Bank threshold.
9. Zimbabwe
To counter the economic meltdown, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) introduced bond coins denominated in 1, 5, 10, and 25 cent increments on a par with the US dollar in December 2014,
10. Ethiopia
For more than a decade now, Ethiopia has grown at a rate of 8-11 percent, making it the fifth-fastest growing economy among the 188 IMF member countries.
The growth is majorly contributed by the country’s agriculture (which employs about 80 percent of Ethiopians) and service sectors. Despite the high growth rate, the country is still struggling with poverty due to rapid population growth and drought.
Rent costs about $45 a month. Food and other amenities are also affordable for anyone who wants to live in the country.

VOA Learning English, this is the Economics Report. Ghana arrested more than 100 Chinese nationals in June. They were accused of illegally mining gold. In February, Zambia seized a Chinese operated mine because of safety concerns. And Gabon has decided to seize property from three foreign oil companies, including one from China. Some observers say these and other incidents appear to be a reaction by African governments against Chinese investment on the continent. China became Africa's top trade partner in 2009. Yet some Africans believe they are not getting enough for their exports. Bright Simons is with the IMANI group. He says China is no longer known only for giving loans and sending workers to build hospitals and roads. He says China is now a business partner. Ghana has taken steps against foreigners involved in "shallow mining" for gold. Only Ghanaians can get government approval for this kind of mining. Bright Simons says some Ghanaians "rent" the permits to foreigners who have the money and training to actually mine the gold. Observers say nations like Niger and Gabon want to get more for their natural resources. They want more money, more local jobs and better living conditions.
